Who's fault is this? Do I have to take ownership as the Dungeon Judge? Can I blame the Blaster for rolling fire damage, not being able to reach her desired target, and saying "What's this barn made of?" Or is it all Fantasy Grounds for having animated fire as an option? #xcrawl

Please enjoy Mister Coal Butler’s perfect white V on his knee. #dachshund

A dachshund, as a starting reference, to show a complete black and tan wee beastie.

A white (upside down) V on the inside of the dachshund’s knee joint. It is the only white patch of fur on his body.

I loved my little Chester’s post grooming ties. This is from 2019.

@nattwentea.itch.io - let me present tonight’s slime. Everyone else: nattwentea.itch.io/slime-quest-64

The player character portrait from the solo RPG “Slime Quest 64.” The slime has a pair of bat wings, a beak, and a pair of cat ears on fire. It also has a cat tail, an eagle talon on the left and a bear paw on the right.

For reference: This was the first half of World of Xeen, aka Might and Magic 4 - Clouds of Xeen. Six floppy disks. Might and Magic 5, the other half of "World" was larger so would have been another 8 or 9 disks. Oh, the memories.

From https://steamcommunity.com/app/238750/discussions/0/4356744017101648880/ - Might and Magic 4: Clouds of Xeen, showing a nice thick manual, classic 80's-90's TTRPG artwork, and six 3.25" floppy disks.

Surprised to discover that I've only been obsessively playing Might and Magic for a little over a week, based on when my conversation with @leonardeuler.bsky.social was. Now to figure out why killing these ogres is important for my office so I can still earn a paycheck.

The game Might and Magic, specifically "The World of Xeen" from 1993. Six colorful characters appear on the bottom of the screen while in the large main box arrows are being short towards the water. Two ogres stand to the right, wondering why I'm randomly shooting when they're not there yet.

A flail snail - a giant snail with a beautiful shell, little pseudopods that are roughly the right location for it to use as arms, and six massive “mace heads” on pseudopods where its antenna should be.

My favorite thing on social media is the implication that trans women have laid claim to Warhammer 40k. I have to assume that someone going up against a Trans Tyranid army is either going to make them feel very welcome or realize they might want to adjust their outlook.

A vicious Tyranid from the game Warhammer 40k. It is painted in the Trans Pride Flag colors - pink on its scales, a dark teal on its claws and other keratinaceous parts. It is in the process of leaping over a loop of barbed wire. (Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tyranids/comments/voxwzc/trans_pride_color_scheme_tyranid/)

They say that you need to focus your activism so you don't get overwhelmed, and that's Trans Rights partially for personal reasons and mainly because everyone's rights are a reflection of how Trans people are treated. I am overjoyed to see that number is currently over $61,000.

A Screaming Wyvern@screamingwyvern· Apr 11

I streamed for an hour last Wednesday skimming over the games in this set, and I'm trying to make Tiks, Toks, Youse, and Tubes out of it. And I pulled up the page out of curiosity. $32.5k and it's still available for another 20 days. And an average $10 donation!

A clip from the TTRPGs for Trans Rights - Idaho bundle, from https://itch.io/b/3525/ttrpgs-for-trans-rightsidaho; it shows 3,307 wonderful people have donated an average of just under $10 each to raise $32,657.65 for a bundle that you can get for just $5.

Back home from #LexingtonComiAndToyConvention and I am so tired. But I wanted to support one indie TTRPG creator and here’s their support. This is @robertturk.bsky.social and Our Woodland Gods, a GMless cultist game, and Vale of the Failed and the Fallen, a #pbta game of failed chosen ones.

Two books by Robert Turk; on the left, a happy little antlered creature invites you to play Our Woodland Gods, “a cozy cultist storytelling game” which I saw and said, “Cult of the Lamb the TTRPG, it must be mine.” On the right,a group of shadows sit around a campfire for “Vale of the Failed and the Fallen,” with the subtitle “a fantasy game of regret and redemption.”

Amazing #glados at Lexington Comic and Toy convention.

GLaDOS writes up my test scores while I look on. I’m not sure if me squealing her name was good for my tests or not…

Obligatory wow the Lexington Comic and Toy Convention Line is Long photo.

Wow, the Lexington Comic and Toy Convention Line sure is long.

Well, I mentioned my kilt and my wife's eyes lit up with excitement and she pointed out how good that and my battle jacket would look together. She also wants to paint my nails, and I hope she has a green that matches my kilt. Anyway, I have "business" cards now. 😍

A business card, ignoring the fact that this is no business. On the top is a wyvern with eyeglasses, and a stylized version of my handle, in pink and blue since I'm a Trans Ally. Underneath it has "Streaming TTRPGs and Solo RPGs" and the addresses for my bluesky and youtube; next is "XCrawl Classics Dungeon Judge", "Always welcoming new player." The last line reads, "Trans Rights are Human Rights."

A Screaming Wyvern@screamingwyvern· Feb 27

Yeah, neither does my wife and she has me as a husband and a dachshund. The two of us are working REALLY hard on the cuteness which is hard when we’re both on anti-anxiety medicine.

So: we have to take Evil Chekov alive because a) Chekov is immune to modern regenerative technology. b) Chekov is incapable of getting blood tranfusions from anyone but himself. c) Although any ship with Chekov on it must carry supplies of his blood, that didn't happen this time. (5/8)

Panels from a Star Trek comic. McCoy is explaining that Chekov is completely screwed. "But Chekov suffers from something called Dythraxis. It's..." Spock, refusing to allow anyone else on the ship to seem smarter than him, interrupts to say "... a rare condition where the body rejects any blood that isn't an exact genetic match." "Which means Synthplasma won't work either," comments Nurse Chapel trying to remind the writer that she's smart." "Precisely why Starfleet requires a supply of Mr. Chekov's blood to be stored onboard" says the First Officer and Chief Science Officer of the Enterprise who would be responsible for ensuring that Starfleet Regulations are met. "Except in the case of a shakedown cruise where combat isn't anticipated" Chapel points out in what I hope is a mocking voice because THAT WOULD BE SPOCK'S FAULT. "What about a relative? We've got to be able to warp someone here from Earth..." says the HELMSMAN OF THE ENTERPRISE who doesn't know how warp works suddenly. "Chekov doesn't have that kinda time. Fortunately, and I'm not sure I'm even using that term correctly in this situation..." We pan to a scene of an Evil Chekov who looks absolutely nothing like Chekov because of an art style difference. "... there's someone a helluva lot closer who's a perfect genetic match for Chekov."

A Screaming Wyvern@screamingwyvern· Feb 21

Actual Chekov gets shot with a Romulan disrupter, and has to be rushed to the Enterprise, at which point the bullshit begins. (To be fair, the actual bullshit is on the next page, this page is just insulting poor Chapel.) (4/8)

A panel from a Star Trek comic. Doctor McCoy is working on saving Pavel Chekov's life after he was shot with a Romulan Disruptor. "Get ready to go on bypass and prep the micro-transporter..." Nurse Chapel, being amazingly professional, interrupts to say "Leonard..." (totally unnecessarily, McCoy is drawn flawlessly here.) "There's too much blood. We need to evacuate the heart. You'll restore vascular function while I sew up all these bleeders." Nurse Chapel, being amazingly skilled at her job after at least half a decade working with McCoy, asks, "Sew?" because nobody in The Original Series has needed to be saved in old fashioned ways ever. "Nothing regenerative is working here," responds McCoy. Please note: This is not, by itself, the bullshit in question.

In brief: Alternate universe Uhura shows up, she's a freedom fighter against Alternate Universe Chekov. Evil Chekov has an Evil Superweapon and the Romulans have Evil Chekov. Freedom Fighter Uhura takes Kirk, Sulu, actual Chekov and actual Uhura into the Neutral Zone to get to him. (3/8)

An alternate universe Uhura (left) speaks to the "real" Uhura. They don't look completely similar because "Alternate" Uhura is drawn in a different style than "Prime" Uhura. (Also I made sure to trim the part of the panel where "Prime" Uhura tunic unnecessarily shows how cold it is in the room.)

A Screaming Wyvern@screamingwyvern· Feb 21

As a quick side note: I do not remember Original Series phasers making this sound when they're fired. (2/8)

A panel from a Star Trek comic. Sulu leaps out of a cargo box and fires his phaser at a Romulan. The phaser makes the sound "STUNNNN" which makes it impossible to know what setting it's on. Kill? Liquefy? Or maybe just stun?

Well, @theonyxpath.bsky.social has now gotten me in trouble. In First Edition Pugmire, the Barool was only described, and I put them in an encounter for my family game. I just picked up the second edition which has art for the Barool and my wife is angry that I made her kill something so cute.

A Barool from the Realms of Pugmire 2nd Edition. It is what some games would call an “owl bear” with a bear body and head, but feathers, wings in the place of arms, and a beak. The artist has gone out of their way to make this common TTRPG threat into the cutest Goddamn thing I have ever seen.

A Screaming Wyvern@screamingwyvern· Jan 14

Before the pandemic, I had a family #Pugmire game going. Then I moved to running games online and ended up with Pathfinder 2e. Maybe it's because I lost two Good Dogs but I'm missing Pugmire; if this becomes a SoloRPG for my channel or an actual campaign remains to be seen.

Happy birthday, Dewey! I woke up Coal to let him know but he didn't respond properly - don't take it personally, he was warm and now he's going to get taken outside for Business.

A grumpy looking black and tan dachshund is partway out of his clamshell style bed. He clearly has just been woken up and thinks that was very rude.

As a hobby, I stream solo RPGs on Thursdays. This year, my stream's aesthetic is pink and blue, with the most current Inclusive Pride Flag clearly displayed. I don't have much power over the current world, but I'm going to show love. (and donate to legal nonprofits.)

A Screaming Wyvern@screamingwyvern· Jan 2

Absolute crap start to the year with my wife's little Chester deciding it's time to move on. Let me go ahead and float one more picture of this cutie into the internet before we say goodbye. #dogsofbluesky

A pretty black pomeranian sits in the sunshine, splooted out on some grass. He is doing a little blep and is a happy little guy.

It is 2025. I have gotten my first tattoo celebrating #KingdomHearts. KH4 is expected to come out in two years. It is 2027. I have made additions to my tattoo. KH4 is expected to come out in two years. It is 2055. My arm has images of all my fandoms. KH4 is expected to come out in two years.

A fresh tattoo on a man's arm. It is the Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts with Kairi's Wayfinder attached.

Chester says he can help fold clothes.

May I offer one grill-cleaning Pomeranian?

A black pomeranian stands on a wooden deck, front paws placed on the circular grill part of a kettle-style grill. The ear on the left is flopped down and he is looking vaguely guilty.

Bally Astrocade. Although in addition to starting me down the dark path of being a gamer, it’s why I’m a programmer- with its number pad based typing system and its saving to a tape cassette…

A Bally Astrocade “Computer Edition” showing a “number pad” style keyboard with a template inserted to prompt the user for the keypresses needed for letters numbers and words. The monitor shows a program being run that prints out a few lines of text.

For clarification, are these the correct weens?

Two dachshunds - technically - sharing a clamshell bed. The one in the front is a miniature dachshund in a blue collar who seems very content. The one in the back is a standard dachshund who is not amused by this at all.

@mattle.wtf - and now the hair lurks eternal.
